+<PRE>OK, so the packages have now all been uploaded.
+
+You should see several packages now that you cannot install on Cauldron.
+This is intended behaviour.
+
+Here is how to update your cauldron systems:
+
+ 1. Run &quot;urpmi --auto-update&quot; install everything that can be installed.
+ 2. Ensure that latest dracut is installed. Run &quot;urpmi dracut&quot; to make
+sure (it may have been excluded in the --auto-update if it was in a
+transaction with other packages that could not be installed).
+ 3. Ensure that you do not have zapata or dpkg installed (rpm -e zapata;
+rpm -e dpkg)
+ 4. Generate a new initrd and include the conversion script: dracut -f
+-a convertfs
+ 5. If you have /usr on a separate partition
+ - Ensure there is enough free space to hold /bin, /sbin, /lib and
+/lib64 content.
+ - If your /usr is mounted readonly, change your /etc/fstab to mount
+it rw.
+ 6. Reboot.
+ 7. At the bootloader prompt, edit the command line and append: &quot;rw
+rd.convertfs&quot; (without the quotes) to your command line and then boot.
+
+That should be all that is needed :)
+
+If you are extra paranoid, or want to see what is going on, then you can
+remove the &quot;splash&quot; and &quot;quiet&quot; options from the kernel too.
+
+If you want to see things in more depth, you can also add
+rd.break=pre-pivot to the kernel. You will be dumped into a shell with
+your / mounted as /sysroot. This shell is *before* conversion. If you
+type &quot;exit&quot; the conversion will be done, and you'll be dumped to another
+shell afterwards. Typing exit once more here will boot the system as normal.
+
+
+
+All the best and good luck!!!
